dinner tonight ? 7/26

[kadesma]

I've decided on shrimp tacos with an avocado sauce instead of the usual taco sauce, and to go on the tacos, some chopped onion, cilantro,peppers if anyone wants more, lettuce and tomato, also some spicy chicken soup that I had frozen..For something to munch before hand some spicy peanuts and a grilled cheese type thing with onion, chilles,olives, tomato diced and put on top and you scoop some up with tortilla chips to eat it.
dessert don't really know but it will be something easy, cool and light
What do you have planned?

I bought some venison the other day. Gonna make my first deer meal. I'm searching for a good recipe now.

 

[kadesma]

Pds,
I've never cooked venison, but ate it as a kid. My grandmother made some type of stew out of it. I have a recipe for venison stew that uses olives, mushrooms parsley,onions, red wine, thyme, dry mustard if you don't find something that catches your eye.

Kads, your shrimp tacos sound great! I've been craving seafood lately and they'd hit the spot. Would you mind sharing your avocado sauce recipe? It sounds interesting!

I'm not sure what we're doing for dinner tonight. Once Sofie has her afternoon nap, she and I are going back over to the hospital to visit DH's grandma again. She's doing well but needs some company and we're happy to visit. It's a 40 minute drive so I have a feeling we'll be hitting rush hour on the way home and Sofie still isn't keen on long car rides. This might be a pick up subs/pizza kind of evening.

I'd be glad to Pa
It's simple and spicey, you can controll the heat by the amount of the serrano chile you use.
here goes:
1-large. avocado, chop coarsley
1-3 serrano chiles- I use just a half of one, kids are not fond of HOT
3-Tab. fresh lime juice
1-tea. kosher salt
Place avocado in f/p or blender. Add the amount of chiles you want, lime juice,salt and bout a 1/4-c. water blend til smooth, you can thin it more with water if you want. Refrigerate til ready to use, it keeps only about 1 day, if there is any left I put it in a pitcher that I use for maple syrup to serve it, not so many drips and spills
It is also wonderful on pork that is shredded and put on corn tortillas emm..my favorite, hope the shrimp ones taste as good.

Husband brought home a package of really thin-cut "scallopini-style" turkey cutlets Tuesday, so last night I made them a la Marsala - with lots of sauteed Crimini mushrooms. Served them with some plain buttered broccoli spears & garlic mashed potatoes.

Not what I consider a "summer" meal, but I had a taste for it.

I've got two stuffed peppers leftover from Tues, so I guess I heat them up.
